What to know about skins for Apex Legends x Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth crossover

While the announcement trailer only showcases three new unnamed cosmetics, a trusted Apex Legends data miner, Thordansmash, has found that the upcoming event will feature skins for Horizon, Newcastle, Wraith, Crypto, Wattson, and Valkyrie of the 'Iconic' rarity.

The 'Iconic' rarity skins were first introduced with the launch of the Post Malone event. Judging by this new pattern, players can expect any upcoming crossovers to feature event skins with this unique rarity. From what we gather, these are limited-time skins and will not appear in the store until further updates are announced by Respawn Entertainment.

Judging by the trailer, players can also expect to see the release of a new Heirloom exclusive to the event's upcoming store.
